Got ya. So, we'll actually be losing some games with this deal when it comes to being on network television. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a little confusing for a couple reasons. There are 17 TV weeks in a regular season. It looks like the first three weeks will only be on NFLN. Week 16 and 17 the NFL uses Saturdays because college is done by then. NBC (which had TNF and SNF last year, got a couple of those games, so they may lose one. It will be something stupid like Fox Thursday Night Football on Saturday Late Afternoon.) Plus, on Thanksgiving, a thursday obviously, Fox always has a game, Detroit or Dallas, but that would not be considered TNF. So it looks like they will have 10 actual TNF games and maybe an extra Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thinking. That could be the 11th game. That would allow them to still say TNF. IIRC, NBC had the Thanksgiving Night game, and the year before it may have been NFLNetwork.

That's NFL logic 101.... Wow, it's like you didn't even read what I posted. Anyway, google it yourself. This has already been looked at and is as I posted.

Punching Bag Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 1 hour ago, 26CornerBlitz said: FOX might give double duty to Joe Buck and Troy Aikman, keeping them as the No. 1 Sunday team and putting them on Thursday Night Football as well Makes sense if both are willing to go along with higher dollar contracts with one of them getting a guest substitute if needed.
